Exams were nearing and the four kids decided to study together; this would not only make studying enjoyable but also save them the kerosene required for the lamp as their village lacked electricity. …

I have asked this question many times. Writing is something I started a very long time ago. My dream is to have a best seller and become a celebrity [at least local celebrity]. With my writing cycle, I have about 3 or 4 blogging websites, and now currently on Medium…

Checklist for composing Daily Update Emails I started my career as Business Analyst and one of my daily tasks to send out daily progress to the customers. During my struggling days, this was the most challenging hour of the day. One of my tasks was to compose emails for about…

It was a difficult day for me. While everyone wanted me to attend participate in an inter-school debate, I wanted to stay and listen to the classes. I had spent almost a week learning about Jnanapitha award winning Kannada poets for this event, the last night had been rough on…

One thing that I can’t say no is when someone genuinely wants to spend time with me and invites me to their place. I boarded the train to Gadag, thinking — its going to be too hot there! I should have said no to my father in law’s request to…

It was a magnificent hall, with over a thousand lights lit in and around hall and the building. People looked happy with a drink in their hand, socialising with others, some were showing off their clothes, jewellery and accessories.

My dad whispered to me, “there’s a gift for you in the pooja room”. I found a small gift bag which had silver earrings inside which instantly brought a big smile on my face.

I am truly enchanted by the love of the angels who have adopted me and are taking care of me.
